Business Overview

Goodyear, one of the world’s leading tire manufacturers, operates approximately 505 company-owned retail outlets in the Americas, primarily under the Goodyear or Just Tires names, plus about 180 commercial truck tire and service centers (2025 Form 10-K). Our ratings database classifies Goodyear as not investment grade; an investment grade rating is BBB‑/Baa3 or higher. Its Goodyear Forward transformation plan, intended to optimize its portfolio, expand margins and reduce leverage, was completed in 2025 (2025 Form 10-K).

Goodyear’s 2025 Form 10-K says it has one of the most recognizable brand names in the world.

Goodyear sold its off-the-road tire business, its rights to the Dunlop brand in Europe, North America and Oceania, and its polymer chemicals business in 2025 (2025 Form 10-K), and in 2026 it approved plans to close its Fayetteville, North Carolina tire plant and two chemical plants (Forms 8-K filed July 21 and October 1, 2026).

Credit Rating & Investment Grade Status

Goodyear is not investment grade. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company carries issuer rating of BB- from Fitch Ratings: below the BBB-/Baa3 investment grade threshold. Ratings checked October 8, 2026. See the investment grade credit tenant ratings table.

S&P: no verified rating
Moody’s: no verified rating

Our ratings database classifies Goodyear as not investment grade; ratings we could not verify from a primary source are not shown. For NNN investors, understanding credit ratings is critical: investment-grade tenants (BBB- and above, Baa3 and above) carry lower default risk and support more conservative portfolio construction. Below-IG tenants carry higher risk but may offer higher cap rates as compensation.

For detailed information on how credit ratings impact NNN valuations and lease pricing, consult our credit ratings guide.

Lease Structure & Triple Net Terms

Goodyear NNN properties feature:

  • Initial Term: Varies by lease; confirm in the lease
  • Base Rent Escalations: Varies
  • Renewal Options: Vary by lease
  • Expense Structure: NNN and NN leases both appear among the listings we track (October 2026); confirm which expenses the tenant pays
  • Corporate Guarantee: Varies; confirm in the lease

The NNN structure aligns landlord and tenant interests by shifting operating expense risk to the tenant. Goodyear is classified as not investment grade in our ratings database and reported a 2025 net loss of $1.72 billion (2025 Form 10-K), so confirm whether a corporate guarantee applies and review the location’s performance.

Cap Rate & Investment Valuation

Live asking cap rates for Goodyear:

TenantS&P / Moody’sMedian asking cap rateMiddle half of listingsListingsMedian vs. 10-year Treasury
Goodyearn/a / n/a6.00%5.43% to 6.45%19+76 bps

Active listings InvestmentGrade.com tracks with an asking cap rate (stated in the listing, or computed from its stated income and price when no rate is stated), listings last observed October 12, 2026. Asking cap rates are not closed-sale cap rates. The middle half is the range from the 25th to the 75th percentile of listings. The 10-year Treasury yield is 5.24% as of October 1, 2026 (FRED series DGS10). Ratings are the agency ratings in our ratings database for the entity shown, which may be a parent company; the rating type (for example issuer, senior unsecured debt, long-term debt or revenue bond ratings) varies by company and is shown on each tenant page. A rating applies to a lease only if the rated entity signs or guarantees it, so confirm the tenant and any guarantor in the lease. n/a means no verified rating is on file.

Cap rates reflect tenant creditworthiness, location quality, lease structure, and prevailing interest rates. A below investment grade rating can support higher cap rates through a larger risk premium, but location and lease terms also drive pricing. For how the rating scale works and where the investment grade line falls, see the investment grade guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Goodyear’s credit rating important?

Higher credit ratings indicate lower default risk, which can mean more predictable cash flows. Investment grade ratings often support lower cap rates through a smaller risk premium.

How stable is Goodyear’s business?

Our ratings database classifies the parent, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, as not investment grade. It reported a 2025 net loss of $1.72 billion and sold businesses in 2025 under a plan intended in part to reduce leverage (2025 Form 10-K). Underwrite the location and lease terms, not only any corporate guarantee.

What are typical renewal risks?

Lease renewal risk depends on Goodyear’s performance at term end. Renewal rent and options vary by lease, and initial and remaining terms differ by property, so confirm them in the lease.
